The region
+ MoreThe centre of Exford is on your doorstep, there are two pubs within easy walking distance that serve lunch and evening meals, and a tea shop. There is also a village shop stocking essentials, and contains a Post Office counter where you can get cash too. The village green is just... across the road, with children's play area (the village green is a dog-free area). Exford is situated pretty much in the centre of Exmoor National Park, offering great access to all that Exmoor has to offer. It is a small rural village based around a traditional village green. Exford and the surrounding area is famous for its beautiful and unspoiled countryside making it ideal for hiking, biking, riding and fishing. Just 10 minutes from Exford is Alderman's Barrow, just one example of the opportunity explore an incredible Bronze age Landscape, with it’s mysterious stone settings, barrow and hut circle. A footpath runs from Alderman's Barrow to Larkbarrow which is the ruins of an isolated farm that was used for firing practice during World War II. This area is described by Exmoor National Park as being surrounded by miles of open, rolling grass moorland, and one of the best places to experience remoteness and tranquillity on Exmoor.
Within the village: The village shop stocks all your immediate daily needs, including groceries, bread, milk, newspapers, etc, as well as a range of small gifts. They are open from 7.30 am to 6 pm Mon-Sat and 9.00 am - 12.30 Sun. The Exford Bridge Tea Rooms (across the road) is renowned for their great breakfasts and light meals. There are two village inns, both within easy walking distance (just a minute away on foot) and they have a large selection of local beers, wines, and ciders along with excellent food. Both offer bar snacks and restaurant meals; The White Horse Inn also offers takeaways.
